The barricade between Kolima and Bilibin doesn't seem to exist after applying the patch (no prologue, skip cutscenes). I wanted that hard nut from rescuing the tree-person from the water later but I guess I don't get that?
I'd love some kind of way to permanently unlock some boosts or maybe currency to start with certain things on a run? I dunno. Maybe I'm just bad at the game and need a bit of help.
